In less time than it took for me to respond to this question, anyoneI found the two functions in one skill scripts, but mayn't find them in
documents, even searched out any info with google. Are they exist? If
they're old functions, how to find the replaced ones? Thanks for your help!
If I remember rightly, these were both "Edge" (aka Artist 2.4) compatibilityOn Jun 20, 10:50 pm, "tech11" <tec...@sohu.com> wrote:

In less time than it took for me to respond to this question, anyone
can find out the current status of any of the more than 50,000 SKILL
functions with a single click (including exactly which releases your
functions of interest exist in, whether they are documented &
supported, and if they've been changed or deleted between releases,
and if so, what the arguments are and how to recover from the changes
or deletions, etc.).
1. Bring up the two-part SKILL Survey (CIW: Tools -> SKILL -> Survey)
2. Point to your IL files to create a comprehensive INVENTORY of all
functions called & defined & where located
3. Enter your email address to receive an automated multi-part
detailed analysis by return email
Information you'd find in that survey result would include, for
example, are that leEdgeSetLayer & leEdgeAddAll are both private
(undocumented & unsupported) SKILL functions; available in all
releases (from at least IC440 to IC610); and neither has been changed
nor deleted during at least the past decade.
As you surmised, these are old functions. Interestingly, a quick PCR
search showed that there haven't been any Customer requests (neither
PCRs nor Service Requests) filed for these functions since before 1994
so, they're pretty stable if they are still in use at Customer sites
today.
What you should do, and anyone who feels they need to use an
undocumented unsupported function should do, is file a Service Request
asking Cadence if there are existing public equivalents for these
undocumented unsupported functions. Often there is an existing
replacement. If not, you can ask for them to be considered to be
documented and made public or for equivalent functions to be created
to be documented and supported. I've personally seen over four hundred
of these private-to-public requests successfully resolved when I was
the DFII Marketing Manager and driving the issues (long ago).
EVERYONE ... PLEASE RUN A SKILL SURVEY TODAY and see for yourself the
status of your SKILL functions!
Good luck,
John Gianni

Your dates are a bit out - icfb was introduced in 1992 or 1993, but there wasOn Wed, 27 Jun 2007 23:05:43 +0100, Andrew Beckett wrote:

By no means, Andrew. I think a complete heritage tree of the CadenceStill, this is all a bit academic (and pedantic on my part, sorry).
Hi Svenn,I think a complete heritage tree of the Cadence
tools with dates and "nicknames" would save a lot of confusion.
